Key Stats
- Kuwait have lost only one of their previous ten international matches against Palestine (W7 D2).

- Palestine are aiming to win successive World Cup qualifying matches for the first time since back-to-back successes against Bangladesh in March 2024.
Kuwait vs Palestine Prediction
Ahead of the eighth match day of the third round of the AFC qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, three of the 18 teams remained winless but one of those, Palestine, managed to come from behind late on to defeat Iraq in Jordan. That means just two remain, with those two being North Korea and Palestine’s upcoming opponents, Kuwait.
Kuwait have collected three points from their eight matches thus far as they sit rock-bottom in Group B of the third round, five points adrift of the top four and qualification for the fourth round of qualification. Palestine, on the other hand, have collected six points now and sit a point ahead of Kuwait but four points adrift of fourth place.
Both sides could be eliminated from qualification this week but both sides could also give themselves a slight chance of a top four finish so that may lend to a fairly chaotic encounter.
